Growing up in high school, I have always had predispositions on thought-based issues such as the origin of life and the extent of our universe. I have been through many phases of confusion and disbelief as well as times of clarity and faith. So, following my instincts, I couldn’t think of a better way to maybe gain some more intelligibility or at least gain a new perspective on the world and what surrounds us. My view of the universe until now had always been open to suggestion and I hadn’t found a concrete theory of the undoubtedly fascinating realm of the physical universe. A Brief History of Time by Stephen Hawking not only provided me with insightful and graceful explanations of ideas such as theories of wormholes and time travel, or God’s role in the universe, but it also allowed me to gain a new under

The book continues with Hawking talking about the beginning of the universe and different theories on its origins. He explains that the universe expands and contracts. Also similar to the fact that there are no real boundaries on the surface of the earth, there are no boundaries to the universe. So, with this said, the universe must have originated from one source or some originating matter. Hawking also touches on the fact that if God created the universe with a set of law and order, then why haven’t these laws provided humans with the explanation with the origin of the universe. Interestingly, Hawking also says if the universe is in fact infinite, having no boundaries or edges, having no beginning or end, then what is the need for a creator in the first place?

If there should be a theory that explained everything and “if we do discover a complete theory, it should be in time understandable in broad principle by everyone, not just a few scientists. Then we shall all, philosophers, scientists, and just ordinary people, be able to take part in the discussion of the question of why is it that we and the Universe exist. If we find the answer to that, it would be the ultimate triumph of human reason – for then we would know the mind of God”. Those were Stephen W. Hawking’s last words in A Brief History of Time. Hawking’s conclusion is that if man can figure out all of these details about black holes, the origin of time and such, he will have figured out everything about the universe. Hopefully, this will never be true, because there should always be a thirst for knowledge and it is a scary thought that a man could know everything about the universe. A Brief History of Time is not only a wonderful read for the professional and non-professional alike, but is also an enjoyable and informative endeavor. It applies to real life in a grand scheme that encompasses the entire universe. I have to admit that I now see the world we live in quite differently. No longer are my thoughts confined to the boundaries of our solar system, or simply earth. The book is a must-read by anyone with an inquisitive mind looking for answers to the mysterious world that surrounds us.

echanics it is, however, possible for an electron or atom to find its way out of the surrounding gravitational forces. So according to theory, a black hole is not completely black.

standing of quite complicated and difficult topics such as quarks and quantum mechanics. Hawking describes many scientific principles including topics on astronomy, cosmology and general physics and shows how science has reached its conclusions.

A Brief History of Time is a scientifically remedial, yet very well-written. Stephen Hawking has a sort of simplistic yet intelligible way of explaining theories. He gets away with describing all million million million million miles of the universe in about 200 pages. He explains the atom, the uncertainty principle, relativity, time travel, and black holes with clear description, simplifying excruciating subjects with good anecdotes and analogies and detailed, but understandable, explanations. He writes the type of novel that a person could crank out in one sitting, yet covers an extremely large amount of information. This book considers many aspects of modern theoretical physics, but one main thesis binds all of these ideas: will man ever be able to figure out the universe (if he indeed was meant to), and how will he accomplish this?

With this stated, Hawking continues
